Title: Replica of my '57 Chevy Vintage race car
Post by: MrGilbwrench on February 08, 2019, 09:33:49 AM
This is a replica of my very first race with my '57 Chevy Vintage car at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway in 2014. This build started out with a Revell Black Widow kit. I had to lower the roof an 1/8", shorten the overall length 1/4" and remove the rocker panels for starters. From there I tried to make it as close to the look of the real car as possible. Again on this one I made my own decals

The real car has a 350 in it. Here, Steve Carlson and my brother John make some adjustments.

Excellent replica of your fifty seven. Looks like a dead on match.
